DRAMATICS
After the string of interruptions caused by the Covid pandemic in the last couple
of years, the Dramatics Club CCA started with renewed vigour and excitement.
Although the number of students who enrolled for this CCA was less than the
expected number, the exchange of ideas and the activities that happened did
make for a promising start. Role plays, acting games like ‘People, Secrets, Places’,
Four Lines and a Story and the Lie Detector Game, were few of the highlights of
the sessions that focused on learning outcomes like creativity, storytelling, critical
thinking, improvisation, emoting, collaboration and so on. The quality of the
sessions gained traction with each passing week and served as a reminder of the
paramount importance of dramatics in the overall development of the students’
fraternity.

LEARNING RESOURCES CENTRE

Libraries are exciting places to cultivate love for books and reading. In spite of
having different nomenclatures all libraries have a common vision. It might be
called a Reference Library, Media Centre, Central Library and so on or like we
proudly call it, the Learning Resources Centre.
During the COVID 19 lockdown e-newspapers and selected e-magazines were
circulated among the staff. There is a lot more to do in the library than just
borrow books and read silently! The highlight of the Learning Resources Centre
this year has been the Reading Programme. The students seem quite excited and
expectant when they come to attend this programme. A few activities were
conducted to induce the students to look beyond their normal perception of a
library. Some of these activities were:
a) Passing the parcel: Each student had to add a sentence to the previous one
and weave a complete story by the end.
b) Musical Chairs: The idea was to expose the students to different genres and
sub-genres of writing. The children played a common Musical Chairs and
when it was their turn, they had to mention a book belonging to the genre
mentioned in the placard kept on their chair.
c) I Have, Who Has: Understanding library terminology.
d) Different endings to an old story.
e) Short reads and discussions thereafter.
Besides these, the Book Discussion Group has been quite active and books were
discussed at length. With a good number of students on campus, LRC has sprung
back to life and one can see students using small breaks to flip through the
magazines or read the newspapers. They can also be seen borrowing books
during the fruit break ,which, in itself is a testament to the age old culture of
mindful reading in Welham Boys.

THE GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY

The Geographical Society was introduced in the spring term of 2016.

The aim of this Society is to complement learning in the classroom and
extend knowledge and application of Geography as a subject beyond
classroom teaching. This society looks after ‘Welham Boys’ School
Weather Station’, ‘The Vertical Declining Sundial’ and helps students in
weather reporting. This society also helps students in collage making,
chart preparation, model making and environmental related
discussions with specific focus on Geography as a subject. A Geography
lab with modern equipment has been set up to help students engage in
weather reporting, rock identification and other hands-on experiments.
The geography lab has also collections of various types of rocks,
minerals and fossils collected from various parts of India. The Society
invites renowned and distinguished lecturers from outside the campus
to deliver lectures on current topics of geographical and environmental
significance.

HERBAL GARDENING
The tall trees on the campus of the Welham Boys’ School speak volumes about the
environment awareness among the students.
Keeping this in mind, a few years back, Herbal Gardening was started as a Co-Scholastic Activity.
Our herbal garden is a great place to work together and grow herbs. The activity is beneficial for
students as they research, discuss and share information about herbs. It also instills a sense of
belongingness in the students.
This year the students focused on growing stevia, turmeric, peppermint, aloe vera and lemon
grass. They were happy to harvest Basil which they had grown earlier. The technique of drying
herbs for future purposes proved to be a great learning and an enriching experience for all.

CARPENTRY AND BAMBOO WORK-

CHESS
The Chess CCA students have again started taking part in various tournaments during this
academic year after a gap of two years due to Covid. Our boys participated in the Scindia School
Online Chess Tournament. The team consisted of Shivam ,Yugav , Aaditya Kharkia, Nehal and
Yashasvi. Welham Boys’ bagged the 6 th rank out of 13 participating schools. Yugav Bhatia was
ranked 6th.
The first offline interschool chess participation during this academic session took place in the
Wynberg – Allen Mussoorie Chess Tournament. The team comprised 6 participants namely,
Yugav , Aaditya Kharkia, Pratham , Devvardhan , Atharva and Harshvardhan. Our players
contested enthusiastically. Yugav Bhatia and Devvardhan reached the semi-finals.
Our boys played the Inter house chess tournament with a lot of zest and enthusiasm. I wish
them all the best for the new session.

DANCE
This year, the dance team participated with immense enthusiasm in a lot of dance related
activities. Since these mainstream events were occurring virtually, it was an unprecedented
challenge for the students to perform online. However, despite this predicament, the dance
team developed phenomenally.
This year, the dance team participated in the Milestone, hosted by St. George’s College. The
team got an opportunity to showcase their talent after a hiatus of two years and also competed
with premier schools from across the Uttarakhand region. Moreover, the dance team also
presented the ‘Flash Mob’ at WELMUN’22 and a few other events. We received positive
feedback from the audience on these performances and it encouraged us to practise even
harder. The exposure gained this year in the field of dance will only propel us to move from
strength to strength in the future.
This time more focus was laid upon introducing new elements and using creativity in dance
while at home. This encouraged the dancers to, quite literally, think on their feet and self-
choreograph some displays. Despite staying at home, the dance culture at Welham remained
intact courtesy the great effort put in by all students
MOTOR MECHANICS
The students in the Motor Mechanics CCA learn about various effects of
automobiles such as designing, cutting, painting, cleaning, fitting, drive axle, gear
shift, brake, filter, oil and coolant etc. The students take a lot of interest and are
learning about the function and design of automobiles.
Apart from the above-mentioned areas of learning, the students in motor
mechanics CCA also learn how to change the tyres of cars.
The excitement of the students is demonstrated in their involvement in planning
the new designs of cars. The boys come up with new and innovative ideas and
give valuable suggestions.
ART AND CRAFT
Art is an expression of our thoughts, emotions and desires. It’s about sharing the way we
experience the world. In Welham Art School, we empower our students with their powerful
medium of expression. A carefully designed curriculum ensures that the students not only learn
basics of Art and Craft but are able to express themselves freely. We try to create interest in
students to learn a new technique or medium in Art and enhance their creativity.
Students learnt a wide range of skills- Canvas painting, pencil shading, charcoal, pouring art, pot
making, mask making, statue making, stencil cutting, block-printing, making dream catchers and
a lot many other skills. They were taught about sustainable environments and how waste can
be used to create something useful. Mural paintings and stencil patterns too enhanced their
learning. Miniature figurines out of clay, vibrant dream-catchers, macramé and wall-hangings
embellished the schools’ premises.
Art engages children's senses in open-ended play and supports the development of cognitive,
social-emotional and multisensory skills. As children progress into elementary school and
beyond, art continues to provide opportunities for brain development, expertise, self-esteem
and creativity. Decoupage art was introduced to the kids resulting in creating beautiful pieces of
kettle’s, bottles, canvas, and transformation of waste material. Installation art helps in evoking
emotion and conversation to bring light to issues that are important to the artist and we are
proud that our students tried some very interesting installation ideas at some eye catching
places in school.
Some say art humanizes the space, giving it character. Artwork hung on the wall or displayed on
a shelf makes your space unique, as a viewer sees something not found anywhere else. Our
students also learnt displaying art and making the learning process visible. Display is an organic
part of the learning process. It is not an end to the process; instead, it is a phase of looking from
afar, revisiting, and learning from it.
BIRD WATCHING
Birding in Welham Boys' School has found renewed interest during the pandemic. If COVID
brought us chronic despair, the avian residents showed us  bright hope by flying high in the
toughest of times. 
 Love for birding is inculcated right from the initial days of Junior School and goes on to become
a regular habit in day-to-day life. Many species were seen for the first time as the world came
to a complete standstill during the pandemic and they have been documented in publications
for posterity. 

Over a hundred species of birds have been identified in the pristine school campus and we hope
to discover more in the future. The captivating silence, blooming flowers, ambrosial lawns, and
feathered creatures at their chirpy best teach us a zillion things. Birding instills  patience in us
and teaches us how to appreciate  beauty in its various facets and hues.
We hope to make Birding a more popular activity so that students enjoy not only
observing birds nestling in the shades but also create sustainable places for them on campus. 

PHOTOGRAPHY
“A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words”- Ansel Adams
We are very proud that the photography club has diversified with every passing year. With
immense endeavor and constant support, our President, Arjun Arora, has taken the
photography club to a new pedestal which includes advancement in photography skills, using
better technology and participation in competitions. The club activities commenced in the year
2022 by participation in “Spectrum” an event hosted by the Unison World School wherein Arjun
Arora, and Chiraag Bhargava bagged the award for the Motion Photography event. Arjun Arora
also participated in the Kamera Obscura event hosted by Welham Boys' School, in which he was
awarded first place in the senior category. The rest of the club has shown their dedication by
capturing each and every event hosted on campus.
 
As it is rightly said , “An eye must first learn to listen before it sees”, we, as the senior members
of the photography club feel proud that even the beginners have started getting the trick of
what to capture and when to capture. The earth is an art and the photographer is only a
witness. Our photographers have relied upon this statement completely.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is
captured forever, it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything!                                             

INDIAN MELODIC INSTRUMENTS:

CCA is an integral part of our school curriculum. There are five students in senior and middle
school Melodic Instruments CCA and one student in junior school . In Indian Melodic
Instruments Club students get an opportunity to learn Sitar ,Santoor and Xylophone . They also
learn Indian classical music and as well as different compositions of different musicians along
with traditional renditions of different ragas in different talas. Every year, CCA students exhibit
their talent in the form of live stage performance during the Founder’s Exhibition.

CYCLING
Cycling has found its special place in the list of adventure activities undertaken by students at
Welham Boys' School. One of the best and most economical forms of exercise, cycling has
always been a popular activity.  Boys have shown immense love and passion for the sport by
participating in numerous cycling expeditions across the length and breadth of the country on
tough terrains. Cycling CCA aims to make students physically and mentally strong and promote
a healthy lifestyle.

PAPER RECYCLING
Recycled paper is converted into handmade paper in the Paper Recycling Unit of the school. It
engages students to perform different tasks so that paper can be made.   Students learn to make
pulp using a Beater Machine from shredded paper. The pulp paste is immersed in water so that it
can spread over thin cotton cloth.  To improve the quality and texture of paper we add   colour,
cotton or fibre depending upon the requirement. Apart from this, these clothes with pulp spread all
over are compressed in the Screw Press Machine. The water is removed from these clothes when they
are pressed. Subsequently, these are then kept for drying under the sun.  The dried uneven papers are
put in the Calendar Machine to be pressed into glazed sheets.

Glazed papers are then cut into proper shapes and sizes. All students have hands-on experience to get a
sense of the process of making handmade paper from waste paper. Students enjoy and learn to make
different kinds of handmade papers. We have recently started making diaries, folders and bags from the
handmade paper produced at the unit.

WELHAM NEWZ
Welham News functions as CCA where students are taught skills of shooting, editing and
sequencing to produce short films. Students become familiar with the range of possibilities
offered by the technical equipment we possess and learn how to make appropriate choices for
each situation. They become equally adept at camera work and editing, presenting a finished
piece that reaches professional standards.
The Year 2022 proved to be yet another successful year marking the glorious 18 years of
Welham Newz. The year began with the Inter-house Film Making Competition at the spring
festival followed by the WELMUN edition. The team also produced a Short Film for the batch of
1954 creating a sense of nostalgia for the ex-welhamites. Apart from in-house productions, the
team participated in the Film Making Competitions hosted by Vasant Valley and Doon
International School where the team emerged victorious in both the competitions. The short
film narration and visualizing school activities is one of the most creative audio-visual tools for
multimedia education.
The Welham Newz team participated in a Film Appreciation Workshop in Kasiga School where
they were introduced to the narrative and stylistic techniques used in filmmaking in order to
understand how meaning is constructed, conveyed, and interpreted in a film.
The FTII-Film and Television Institute of India conducted a Basic and Advance Filmmaking
Course for students of Middle and Senior School from 9th-13th May 2022. The course was led
by Ritesh Taksande, a veteran filmmaker known for his contribution to the field of films and a
resource person for FTII- Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, a CFOL initiative.
The Basic and Advance Courses introduced the students to the basics of technology, theory,
history, techniques, and applications of filmmaking and photography. During the five days
course,
students learnt the basics of Script Writing, Screenplay, Storyboard, Camera Operation,
Shooting
Editing, and a lot of post-production techniques. At the end of the course, students produced
short films which were submitted for film festivals across the globe.
Welham Newz continues to progress towards greater heights.

PUBLIC HEALTH
Monitoring of community water supply is very important to assess the safety of the water
distributed to the consumer so that he is consistently and reliably protected from the health
hazards of contaminated supplies. Monitoring is an investigative activity undertaken to identify
and evaluate factors associated with the community water supply
Under “Public Health and Water Quality Testing” students were apprised of some toxic
elements and compounds which are found in potable water collected as samples from different
water points. A simple water testing kit helps them to estimate and detect various factors such
as pH, turbidity, Dissolved oxygen, Chloride, Fluoride, Phosphate ions in drinking water.
Students are taught the importance of “ TDS (Total Dissolved Solutes)” in water collected from
different RO systems installed in school . They collected water from supplies and found that the
TDS level was very high in Dehradun due to the presence of Calcium ions in water. High level of
Calcium salts in water supplied in Dehradun has always been a health issue for local residents
as it causes Kidney stones. The students also collected water from different RO points and
found low value of hardness hence they learnt the use of Reverse Osmosis systems as it
remove the extra salts and make the water fit for drinking.
Water Quality Testing is an Investigatory Project for Senior Secondary students. They will be
representing the process in the upcoming Founder’s Exhibition to spread awareness among
other students and their families.

QUIZZING CLUB
Quizzing at Welham Boys’ commenced with immense enthusiasm post pandemic with
students coming back to school. The interactive sessions conducted by the quizzing club
furthered the knowledge level and interests of the students. Quizzes were conducted at
classroom level which helped in the selection of participants for Intra School and Inter
School competitions. Raghav Agarwal, the quizzing captain organized quizzes across
various levels of the School and motivated students with the conduct of regular

looking forward to more active quizzing in the year 2023.

BUSINESS CLUB
The Business Club has been working extensively towards creating awareness amongst students about
the functioning of the business world. The club has come a long way since its inception. During the term,
the Business Club conducted fruitful discussions on themes comprising the future of the EV Industry,
sustainable growth and the significance of the stock and derivatives market in the financial world.

The Business Club conducted an entrepreneurship campaign where students had to present various
start-up models. Five start-up models were presented involving extensive research and deliberation.
This helped the members of the Club to understand the entrepreneurial skills required for growth of any
business.
The Club also focuses on the financial literacy, which primarily include discussions on various types of
investments, passive income creation and financial services provided by the government. The Business
Club CCA time was largely utilised for stock market speculation and investing. Students were taught how
to use fundamental and technical analysis to their advantage.

MILITARY HISTORY CLUB

SAXOPHONE & TRUMPET
The Saxophone and trumpet CCA is a new addition and the students are beginning to show a keen
interest in learning these instruments. A few boys from the Middle School have picked it up rather well
and will be performing at the Founder’s as well.

VIOLIN
The violin CCA has picked up in popularity with many middle and junior school students opting for the
instrument. The violinists are always excited to perform as part of the Ensemble.
HARMONICA
The Harmonica or Mouth organ as it is commonly called is a very popular CCA with the junior and middle
school students. It is easy to carry. The students are learning to play many iconic tunes. Some of the
students from this CCA have always been a part of the Ensemble at Founder’s Day.

DRUM
The drum CCA is very popular with the boys and has churned out some excellent drummers for the
school. The drummers display their skill at the Inter-House Music Competition and leave the audience
spell bound. The drummers have always been a part of the School Band and the Ensemble.

GUITAR
The guitar CCA is one of the most popular CCAs among the boys. The boys who opt for this, learn to play
the acoustic rhythm guitar and the electric lead guitar.

The CCA has 2 sections-- one for beginners and the other for advanced learners to make the learning
process more fruitful and meaningful.

The beginners are given a basic knowledge of chords and in due course they learn to play many songs
and hymns based on the strumming patterns taught to them.

The advanced learners are taught the nuances of playing the lead on an electric guitar as well as an
acoustic guitar.

On Founder’s Day each year, the boys put up the Music Factory exhibition and entertain the audience
with many popular songs. It is always one of the most popular amongst the plethora of exhibitions!

DTP
Desktop publishing (DTP) is the use of personal computers to design books, Magazines,
booklets, visiting cards, greeting cards and other printed materials that are intended to be
printed by reproduction machines or ink jet or laser printers. The software that supports
desktop publishing has a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) graphical user interface
(GUI). Desktop publishing is especially helpful as an independent publishing option and can be
used to produce information on a variety of topics.
The Welham Boys’ School is using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, Microsoft
Word, and Adobe Acrobat as software to make students understand the power of DTP. Apart
from desk top publishing we can also utilize the features of CorelDRAW and Photoshop in
contrast and brightness adjustment of photographs, color balancing, adding special effects like
power-clips, welding, trimmings and adding borders to images. It can work with multiple layers
and multiple pages.
The School initiated the DTP- CCA keeping in mind the creative capability of our boys. The boys
are already engaged in in-house publications like Oliphant, Sankalp, Wavelength, Politicia,
Innoventure, and various other in-house magazines, Booklet (Protocol with grace) and
brochures for Founders Day, one-act play, interhouse music competition, etc. to name a few.
The in-house printing unit was installed six years ago in 2016 with Toshiba e-Studio 2050c and
Duplo DP-U650 machines and this year a new machine HP Colour LaserJet Managed
MFPE78330 was included to further enhance the printing quality of school productions. These
machines have encouraged the boys to showcase their talent in designing and printing of
certificates for all occasions, invitation cards, program schedules for WELMUN, Military History
Seminar and Oliphant Debates etc. These publications require text and graphical designs for
their articles and creativity. The DTP CCA helps our production team in improving the
professional quality of the articles .
The invitations for the Founder’s Day and Principal’s invites for many occasions are also
designed and printed in-house using DTP. In this, CCA students desig and edit two-dimensional
images such as logos, clip-arts and posters.
The students will also be getting an opportunity to showcase their work by displaying the work
done throughout the year on the notice boards of IT Lab. The editions of Oliphant, Sankalp,
Innoventure and Politicia editions will be printed. The live demonstration of reproduction
machine will also be on display during the Founder’s Day exhibition.

TABLA
The Tabla CCA is taken up by students who are interested in percussion instruments. They are taught a
variety of taals according to their level of learning. They contribute by playing the Tabla in the morning
assembly and at other music related events. During Founder’s the students put up an exhibition to
showcase their talent. The tabla students are an integral part of the Ensemble which is exhibited at the
Founder’s Day. 

PIANO AND KEYBOARD

The Piano and Keyboard CCA is extremely popular with the students. During the course of the year the
students learn many songs and symphonies. They contribute meaningfully to the morning assembly and
every music related program. The students display their talent and skill at Inter-House and Inter-School
events. They had also entertained the audience at the music factory exhibition during Founder’s
exhibition.

The pianists play the upright piano with expertise and learn the pieces composed by Beethoven, Mozart
and other great legendary Pianists.
ASTRONOMY

It is said that a good start is half the job done, and this year at Welham Boys’ School we have
made a good start in Astronomy.

Astronomy activities started this year with a new group of students who were taught to handle
an 8 inch automated telescope and within a short period of time they were able to assemble the
telescope, start off with its initial alignment and operate the telescope on their own to watch
the celestial wonders in the night sky. The team is fully aware of the functions of the telescope,
i.e. light grasp, resolution and magnification. The students’ team also learnt the use of this
telescope for photographing the Moon and bright planets.
They are also trained to handle observation sessions for a large group of junior school
students. This team of students have so far organized four to five sessions for junior school
students as well
in which all the activities starting from installation of telescope to observation and then
clicking the pictures of celestial objects like Sun, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and its satellites was
performed.
Students take lot of interest in astrophotography using 8 inch telescope along with DSLR
camera. A small group out of these students are regularly learning astrophotography and
processing raw images clicked with the help of a telescope.

This year we conducted a telescope making workshop for the students . Very soon, by January
2023 , the school hopes to have a fully functional astronomical observatory with a large
research grade telescope ( A 14 inch celestron) permanently installed. The objective is to have
students conduct regular night sky observations, document changes on the Moon, planets,
variable stars and shoot deep sky images of nebulae and galaxies.

ELECTRONICS
Meant to imbibe social skills, intellectual skills, moral values, personality progress, and
character appeal to students both implicitly and explicitly, Electronics continues to be one of
the most sought after co-curricular activities at Welham Boys’ School. This activity is offered not
only to the students of the middle and the senior school but also to the students in the primary
section. At present eight students from the Junior School and 15 students from the Middle and
the Senior School form our Electronics Club.
Students in the Junior School, after learning the art of soldering and increasing their
acquaintance with the various electronic components, have by now completed their basic
projects on darkness and light alarm, automatic night light, electronic dice and touch switch
circuits. For the forthcoming Founder’s Day celebrations, they would be working on Heat
Sensitive D.C fan speed control circuits, wood burning machine for pyrography, bicycle lights
and wireless energy transfer circuits.

Students in the Middle and the Senior school have worked on more complex projects like
microcontroller based moving message display, variable power supplies, interactive coffee
table, inverter circuits (12V-230V) etc.  and are presently working on Light attracted/repelled
robots and an audio bar graph generator for the forthcoming Founder’s Day celebrations.

HINDI SPEAKING
CANDLE MAKING
Creative hobbies like candle making help students not only in developing their own artistic skills
but also in engaging themselves in fun filled activities. Candles serve as a daily household
necessity and are also used on numerous occasions for decoration purposes or simply lighting
up the venue. Hence, they categorize as a mass consumption item and are widely used all over
the world.

Candle crafting polishes a child’s sharing skills when resources are involved and also teaches
them to work in a cooperative manner. Supporting ‘turn taking’ and developing a child’s
patience teaches them to work as a team and about the fun of learning new experiences.
Students design variety of candles such as wax candles, floating candles, jelly candles, diyas and
more using different moulds and then decorate them with colours. Special tools for candle
making are provided and children are able to explore how colours and smells change as the wax
starts to change its form. They learn how the materials used can be reshaped by heat and learn
about the textures of the wax and other decorative resources. Children also get the platform for
free, open discussions with each other as well as with the teachers. Students enjoy this activity
immensely and derive pleasure with considerable sense of accomplishment. More than a
hobby, candle making has become a form of art. Students have their own designs and ideas for
candles and in this case, no matter what design is created, it becomes a unique piece of art.

MUN
The students in this CCA discuss different global issues, rules of MUN procedure, and thereafter
participate in different MUN simulations. Eminent resource persons provide training and
orientation to students in a range of areas related to MUNs so that they are able to broaden
their outlook and global awareness. Many students of the MUN CCA participate in a range of
international level and inter-school MUN events. Various skills such as research, public
speaking, lobbying, diplomacy and global awareness are developed through these experiences.
 
The school hosts WELMUN every year. Students take part in the event as delegates, Executive
Board members and Organizing Committee members.
The Model United Nations CCA has developed exponentially over the past years, with students
growing increasingly concerned about matters of international peace and security, economics,
and human rights. The CCA group consists of students from grade 7 to 12.  The younger
students are very well coached by the seniors and this helps the younger ones pursue their
MUN interest taking it forward as they mature

COOKERY
“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are so many notes or colours, there are
only so many flavours—it’s how you combine them that sets you apart.”– Wolfgang Puck
With this objective, the students at Cookery CCA boys indulged in making new dishes in this
term and were keen on making ice cream shakes and refreshing strawberry lime spritzers.
They also learnt to prepare cheese-grilled toast, bread, and potato gold coin along with peeling,
chopping the vegetables and cleaning the kitchen after the preparation. They were excited as
they used various ingredients like Oreo biscuits and chocolate bars while preparing delicious
Oreo sticks.
The boys also tried their hands at making nutritious energy bars which were packed with dry
fruits and the sweetness of jaggery. They also prepared lemon chicken The vegetarians
prepared spicy bhelpuri with onions, tomatoes, peanuts, and sweet/sour chutney. This quick
dish became a new favorite with the boys.
The boys also enjoyed preparing and drinking chilled lemon, Sprite and Cranberry juice
mocktail. With Founder’s Day approaching, the boys are looking forward to showcasing their
talent.

BAKERY
Bakery-CCA has been an integral part of the co-curricular activities at Welham Boys' School.
Interest in the same has grown manifold in the past few years. Allowing children to explore and
experiment with the ingredients to create new recipes and magic in the kitchen has attracted
boys in huge numbers. A vast range of savouries and sweets representing different cultures
have been baked and served to the students and visitors on special occasions. Recently, Bakery
CCA students prepared sweets and other eatables for the Old Boys who visited their alma
mater on 15th October,  2022. As a team, we wish students to acknowledge that chaos can be
beautiful too. We aim to promote sustainable eating with an emphasis on minimum food
wastage. 

SANKALP
The Hindi magazine 'Sankalp' provides an opportunity to the students interested in Hindi to
showcase their writing skills in the form of poetry and prose, be it an article, a story, or a
thrilling experience. These writings also enrich the readers. Students not only work upon their
Hindi typing skills but have also started working hard towards designing cartoons and
developing art pieces for the magazine on various topics. “Nanhi Kalam” encourages young and
budding writers to come up with new and unique pieces of literature. Team Sankalp is striving
continuously towards bringing to the fore new writing talent and encouraging clear and vivid
expression of thought and creativity.

OILPHANT
The Oliphant is the school's oldest running publication. It has always focused on providing
students with a platform to express themselves without fear or favour. We serve this purpose
so that no voice is missed or suppressed. In the preceding year, we have not only furthered
these values but also added new dimensions to the 'voice of the students.'

This year, the editorial board successfully introduced the concept of 'themes' to The Oliphant.
The theme system promotes uniformity throughout the magazine and usually revolves around
a certain set of emotions, thus, helping students in determining what to write and how to write.
This year, as usual, the popularity of the Oliphant increased, as more students started looking
up to our publication to put forth their interests be it through ‘Reviews’, ‘Lampoons’, or the
infamous ‘Humour’ section. A new section titled 'Editor's Take' was added wherein the junior
editors of The Oliphant were able to express their thoughts on the specified theme.

To say the least, we’ve had a successful year, and it is certain that there’ll be many more to
come. We would like to thank Mr. Raunaq Datta, the Teacher-In-Charge for the Oliphant, for his
unconditional help and guidance which has helped the board in delivering no less than the
stellar content. His support towards the magazine has been unwavering and extremely
significant. We believe that, in the years to come, The Oliphant will be able to cement its place
as the flagship magazine of the school and move steadily ‘from strength to strength’.

QUARK
The first edition of the newly launched Quark magazine was published in September 2022.
Quark is the junior and middle school science magazine and is the sister version of Wavelength
in the senior school. The magazine aims to promote scientific temper amongst the younger
students and promote an outlet to their inquisitiveness, while at the same time maintaining a
simple language and layout to reach the junior students. 
The first Baisakhi edition had ten articles encompassing different fields of Science. There was a
special section called “Young Scientist Thoughts” which highlighted the thinking of grade IV
students. Students of grade V shared a poster collage section on “Saving Earth”. Students from
grade VI to VIII contributed articles and pictures for the magazine. The Editorial board
comprising of students from class VII and VIII really put in their earnest efforts to collect, edit
and compile the articles in a colourful magazine. The response from the students has been
overwhelming and the next issue of the Quark magazine is ready to be published, bigger and
better. 

POLITICIA
Politicia is the Social Science Department publication which deals with political and social issues
of the world. The purpose of the magazine is to highlight national and international issues. The
critical analysis of the global questions in particular, help the students to comprehend the
causes and consequences of the events. The students also become aware of the impact of
global politics on local politics. This year, the magazine focused on the ongoing Ukraine - Russia
conflict, political fluctuations in Europe, the occupation of Afghanistan by the Taliban, the
demise of powerful leaders, etc.  The magazine propagated that peacebuilding and stabilization
are the need of the hour. The Sri Lankan crisis and coup in Myanmar focused on challenges
faced by the international communities across the globe. Focusing on Internationalism helped
students to learn to write international stories. Thought provoking articles were presented on
environmental concerns and the problems of political parties. 
Agastya Raj Pahwa is the student editor this year. Overall, it was a successful year for the
magazine

WAVELENGTH

Wavelength is a science magazine dedicated to providing age-appropriate, topical science news

to all members of the Welham family. A purely student driven initiative, it covers the most
important and exciting research ideas and knowledge in science, health and technology related
to the environment and society.
Published biannually, Wavelength has short news stories and long features, all written with a
vocabulary and sentence structure aimed at readers between 13 to 18 years of age. The scope
of the technical subjects dealt with and their tone has captivated many older readers as
well.Committed to sharing trustworthy knowledge and enhancing our understanding of the
world, the articles include not only topics of pure sciences but of other fields as well. Ironically,
it has articles written even by students who don’t pursue Sciences after Grade X - a fact which
reflects upon the highly innovative teaching standards followed by the school coupled with
interest in day-to-day scientific application by individuals.

The magazine now also comes with a QR code and undergoes the rigorous exercise of ‘no
plagiarism’ policy. Beginning with our Founder’ s issue, we would be introducing a section on
Research Papers wherein we would be sharing a brief synopsis of various research works
carried out by our students of Grade XII.

One of the most sought-after magazines, it is also sent to select Round Square schools across
the globe.

ROUND SQUARE ACTIVITIES

Round Square is a not-for-profit network of schools in 40 countries across five continents that share a
passion for experiential learning built around six ideals of learning: Internationalism, Democracy,
Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service.

During Round Square activities students are encouraged to discover and develop their own capabilities
through a range of experiences, activities, collaborative projects and challenges, both within and outside
the curriculum, including Social Service projects - EOTO, exchanges and conference participation.

As a part of team Round Square at Welham, it is ensured that students make a strong commitment
beyond academic excellence to personal development and responsibility. Tasks are tackled through
community projects that include building schools, classrooms, toilets and community centres, building
clean water systems for remote hill-tribes or creating and maintaining trails in National Parks. Local
material is used and the teams always works with the local people, ensuring that they take ownership of
the work, once it has been completed. Rishit Garg of Grade 12 has been appointed the Round Square
Student Representative of the School for the Academic Year 2022-23.

This year Welham Boys’ School has attended the Round Square International Conference -22 in U.K.
Jaap Sardana, Yashashvi Kesarwani, and Shivaay Talwar attended the RSIC- 22 with the Round Square
Representative Mr. Rajeev Bhatia accompanied by the Principal Mrs. Sangeeta Kain.

The theme of the conference was “Take less be more”. The students were able to experience their stay
in the beautiful St.Anne’s College of the Oxford University and able to visit the host School Latymer
 Upper School, London. The Conference which was conducted in a physical environment after two years
was quite enriching and empowering to the participants. The extended post conference tour to Scotland
with the students of the other Indian Schools was also a great learning experience for all.

Our schools’ committee organized an artwork through waste materials alongwith designing this year’s
RSIC theme “Take Less Be More”. Collages, sculptures and installations were created by using discarded
materials within the school campus. This initiative by the committee not only helped in recycling the
waste material but also in bringing awareness among the students about sustainable development.

Welham Boys' School is constantly looking to expand the envelope and expose students to the world
that lies beyond their immediate horizon. Though the list of subjects can be endless but our focus is on
three key areas, Awareness of Indian Military History, the Environment and exposure to Rural India.
Schools that recognize these key issues will join us in the Social Service Initiative at Deevli, a village in
the erstwhile princely state of Bharatpur, now a proud part of Rajasthan. Through these di scoveries the
students will be able to empower themselves with the fundamentals of inquisitiveness, tenacity,
courage, compassion, inventiveness, ability to solve problems, self-awareness, sense of responsibility,
appreciation of diversity, commitment to sustainability and communication which are envisaged as core
objectives of the Round Square.

SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS:
THE OLIPHANT – ANNUAL REPORT
The Oliphant is the school's oldest running publication. It has always focused on
providing students with a platform to express themselves without fear or favour.
We serve this purpose so that no voice is missed or suppressed. In the preceding
year, we have not only furthered these values but also added new dimensions to
the 'voice of the students.'

This year, the editorial board successfully introduced the concept of 'themes' to
The Oliphant. The theme system promotes uniformity throughout the magazine
and usually revolves around a certain set of emotions, thus, helping students in
determining what to write and how to write. This year, as usual, the popularity of
the Oliphant increased, as more students started looking up to our publication to
put forth their interests be it through ‘Reviews’, ‘Lampoons’, or the infamous
‘Humour’ section. A new section titled 'Editor's Take' was added wherein the
junior editors of The Oliphant were able to express their thoughts on the specified
theme.

To say the least, we’ve had a successful year, and it is certain that there’ll be
many more to come. We would like to thank Mr. Raunaq Datta, the Teacher-In-
Charge for the Oliphant, for his unconditional help and guidance which has helped
the board in delivering no less than the perfect content. His support towards the
magazine has been unwavering and extremely significant. We believe that, in the
years to come, The Oliphant will be able to cement its place as the flagship
magazine of the school and will move steadily ‘from strength to strength’.

TEDX YOUTH @WBS: SEPTEMBER 10,2022

4th edition of TEDx Youth @WBS for the local community with new ideas to inspire and inform

Rajat Mathur, HR, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley, spoke about a life-altering incident that
changed his perspective on treating others and time with respect. Through the power of
storytelling, he narrated an experience from three decades back to highlight to the students,
how doing some very simple things in life, with discipline, can change the way they will be
perceived as individuals, and how all this will make them better.
The main argument of the founding president of MAD, Mr. Abhijay Negi was that the greatest
opponent of a great life is a good life. He stressed how blessed are those who face mammoth
challenges as destiny wishes them colossal success. He inspired students to find solutions rather
than focusing on the problems.
 Being a good human being is important, said Jeroninio Almeida, Asia’s highest-paid author,
adding that there are many opportunities and low competition in this sector. He challenged the
way we educate our children, championing a radical rethink of how our school systems should
cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence."I believe that everyone is a
hero, a leader, a volunteer, a teacher and a champion of change. All we need to do is
acknowledge and understand this and then help others to also understand the same. That's all
it takes to be a hero, a leader, a volunteer, a teacher and a champion of change” said Jeroninio.
Dev Pratap Singh, Founder, Voice of Slums, NGO narrated how he had brought a wave of
change for the children of slum dwellers who cannot afford education and remain unemployed
forever. Growing up in slums, Dev absconded from his home at the age of 11 and lived on
railway stations. Pratap Singh’s dreams always impelled him to do something extraordinary in
life. Establishing an NGO was the first step, but sustaining it was a major hurdle for Dev.
By narrating the incident about the construction of The Bridge on the river Choluteca as a
metaphor of life, Ms Aishwarya Bhati, Additional Solicitor of India advised the children that
‘Build to last’ might have been a popular mantra in the past, but ‘Build to Adapt’ is the way to
go. She also elucidated the journey of women's Rights in India. She talked about the importance
of Kartavya Paath, which states that being a strong team player is one of the most important
aspects of leadership.
It was a fascinating, educational, and riveting experience for Welhamites.

MILITARY HISTORY SEMINAR

As the curtain came down on the Sixth Military History Seminar at Welham Boys’ School in
Dehradun, students from 25 schools stood ramrod straight as the Indian Military Academy band
struck up the National Anthem for the last time. Admiral Karambir Singh, the erstwhile Chief of
Naval Staff, who had flown in from Goa to preside over the closing ceremony, said he was
delighted to see how the ‘Welham Initiative’ was doing ‘an exceptional job to groom India’s
future generations.’

Earlier, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria, who was Admiral Karambir’s course mate at the
National Defence Academy and had presided over the Opening Ceremony, fielded questions
about India’s indigenous projects, especially the LCA (Tejas) and other aviation-related projects,
including helicopters. Moderating both the opening and closing sessions was Shiv Kunal Verma,
the author of 1962: The War That Wasn’t and 1965: A Western Sunrise. When pointedly asked
if the outcome of the conflict with China sixty years ago would have been different had the IAF
been used in an offensive role, there was no ambiguity in ACM Bhadauria’s reply: ‘I have
absolutely no doubt about it!’ Incidentally, the ACM had been the Air Chief during the stand-off
with China in 2020. ‘I had no hesitation to even push the just inducted Rafael into an
operational role. The IAF was fully prepared to take on the Chinese.’
All three service Chiefs… General MM Naravane, Admiral Karambir Singh, and ACM Bhadauria
had met every morning during the Eastern Ladakh standoff. Also present at the seminar was Lt
General Harinder Singh, who was then commanding the Leh-based 14 Corps. While the Air
Chief said joint manship in the three services was getting a major boost with the concept of
Integrated Commands being put in place, Admiral Karambir said a lot more needs to be done
and required a top-down directive to bring all of the country’s resources to meet the challenges
of ever-evolving threats.

The theme of the seminar was the ‘Evolution of India’s Military Thought.' In a heartfelt vote of
thanks, Sangeeta Kain the Principal of Welham Boys’ School underlined the fact that the
Military History Seminar was the brainchild of Mr. Darshan Singh, the Chairman of the school,
and an initiative by Welham Boys' to introduce school students across the country to a topic as
nuanced as military history. The Principal appreciated the efforts of Team Welham in
conducting a flawless event and in particular thanked the Vice Principal, Mahesh Shanker
Kandpal, the seminar coordinator, Sana Durrani, and the Coordinator of Activities, Rajeev
Bhatia. Almost all participants echoed the sentiment that not only had Welham Boys’ broken
new ground, but they had also done an exceptional service by involving other schools as well.

Among the Resource Persons, apart from the two chiefs, were the former Vice-Chief, Lt Gen PC
Bhardwaj who himself is a highly decorated Special Forces officer. Also present was Lt General
Mohinder Puri, who had commanded the 8 Mountain Division during the Kargil conflict.
Another outstanding officer who had commanded the 70 Infantry Brigade at Ghanasok in the
Batalik Sector, Brigadier Devinder Singh, also shared his knowledge. Along with General
Harinder Singh and General Yash Mor, Brigadier Devinder Singh addressed the third session,
Siachen and Beyond: From Reactive to Proactive.

Earlier, the Doon School educated Maj General Jagatbir Singh moderated the session with Col
Ajay K Raina, Anirudh Chakravartty, and Shiv Kunal Verma on the Reactive phase that
encompassed the 1947-48 J&K Ops, 1962 and 1965. Subsequent sessions saw other speakers
that included AVM Manmohan Bahadur, Lt Generals KJ Singh, and General Shankar Prasad.
Vice-Admiral Pradeep ‘Billu’ Chauhan then presented a detailed presentation that brought out
the various aspects of Maritime power.

This year's seminar saw a major increase in student participation. Over 120 Welhamites, led by
the Jamuna House Captain Shubhankar Dhulia, volunteered to join the Military History CCA and
were actively involved in running the show. This year, participating student delegates were
assigned syndicates that interacted with the RPs before the actual session. ‘This worked well,
for it also allowed the speakers to understand what was required of them,’ said General KJ
Singh, who was participating in the seminar for the sixth straight year. ‘I look forward to being
here yet again, for what Welham Boys’ is doing, is not only seminal in nature but a vital
necessity in today’s scenario.’

‘These are the future young men and women who will take the country forward. This seminar is
making them look beyond the horizon and opening up new vistas for them,’ said Anirudh
Chakravartty. ‘It was my privilege to be a part of this incredible event. This is what education
needs to be.’

Girls from the Unison World School and Him Jyoti joined contingents from RIMC and Welham
Boys’ for the march past in the closing ceremony. There were two Sainik Schools that had come
from Purulia and Jhunjunu. Also participating were Mayo College, Ajmer,The Scindia School,
Gwalior; The Mann Public School, Delhi, KC Public School, Jammu; YPS, Mohali, Birla Public
School, Pilani, Neerja Modi School, Jaipur; Colonel Satsangi Kiran Memorial School, Delhi. The
Doon School, The Horizon School, Mussoorie Public School, The Doon Girls School; Mussoorie
International School; The Oasis School; Manav Bharti India International; Vantage Hall Girls
Residential School, were the participating schools from Dehradun and Mussoorie.

WELMUN’22

The seventh edition of the Welham Boys’ School Model United Nations was held on 12 th and
13th August 2021. The conference was led by Secretary General Aarav Upadhyaya along with
Viraj Lohia, Mrinank Chandar, Samanyu Malik and Hrittvik Moody comprising the secretariat. A
total of 234 participants from 33 schools were given a forum to deliberate upon real-time issues
which concern the world. This year we witnessed delegates participating in 7 committees
encompassing a diverse set of agendas, all under the umbrella concept of ‘Normalis Novum’,
Latin for the new normal. As the theme suggests, this edition of WELMUN was an effort
towards completing the transition from offline to online and adapting ourselves to the ever
changing ways of the future.
The primary decision making body of the UN, the Security Council, was chaired by Samanyu
Malik. It discussed the annexation of Crimea while dealing with a possible war crisis at hand.
Hrittvik Moody led the proceedings of the Disarmament and International Security Committee
of the United Nations General Assembly which focused on the increasing role of Artificial
Intelligence and its weaponization. The Human Rights Council, the most anticipated committee,
was chaired by Aaditya Chandragupta, and it delved deeper into issues such as the situation of
Uighur Muslims in the Xinjiang region and child labour. Perhaps, the most interesting cabinet
simulated at WELMUN this year was the Soviet Special Advisory Committee and the President’s
Special Committee on Containing Communism, presided over by Mrinank Chandar and Viraj
Lohia respectively. The cabinet, set in 1962, traced the events of the Cold War and presented
delegates with an opportunity to alter its outcome. The only bilingual committee was the Lok
Sabha which dealt with the deterioration of political climate in India and was chaired by the
Secretary General himself. Lastly, Gurkeerat Singh took on the role of Editor-in-Chief of the
International Press Corps, where participants were assessed on their journalistic ability and
professionalism. The Security Council and the Human Rights Council were, by consensus, the
two highlights of the seventh edition of WELMUN.

The simulation at WELMUN’21 ranged from the Indian Parliament to historic crises to the
International Press, making it one of the most diverse MUNs of the academic year. Months of
hectic preparation finally culminated in a successful conference which teachers and students
enjoyed alike. While the prospect of an offline conference remains distant, it is best that we
adapt to the ‘Normalis Novum’ and to that end, WELMUN’21 has been the harbinger.

ALL INDIA IPSC IT FEST(ONLINE)

It is said that best technology brings people together. 

Welham Boys’ School conducted the All India Online IPSC Fest from the 13th - 15th October,
with the theme of "Best Technology brings people together”. This IPSC IT Fest was dedicated to
our founder Ms. Oliphant on the 85th Anniversary of Welham Boys' School. With more than 27
participating schools, 260 students and six different events, the event was a great success. The
Overall- in-charge of the fest was Mr. Prashant Arora, HOD IT and Allied & Systems and
Teacher-in-charge was Mr. Punit Pandit, IT Faculty and House Master-Ganga B. The Following
competitions were organized during the IT festival.

Shape the Photo Contest

Student Head: Nain Krishan Agarwal
Photoshop is a well-known graphic design software program created by the company named
Adobe. It enables graphic design professionals to create advertisements, logos, and marketing
pieces. Photoshop with its powerful collection of functions and features offers many benefits to
users of all skill levels. Artists nowadays use photoshop to create complex images that would
have been impossible to even think about twenty years ago.

In this event, each participant was provided with a set of pictures and was supposed to use
them to create a unique yet magnificent image using the following software : InDesign /
Illustrator / CorelDRAW / Photoshop. The participants were judged on their : Creativity/
Placement of Contents/ Relevance to the Topic/ Visual Appearance, and the following were the
results :

Position Name of School Name of Participant

1 Scindia Kanya Vidhyalaya Divyajyoti Raj

2 Welham Girls’ School Paridhi Saboo

3 The Assam Valley School Yashraj Agarwal

Digital poster making

Student Head: Arjun Arora
A poster has a visual design, images, and copy. It provides a message intended to promote
brand awareness or call attention. A poster presentation combines text and graphics to present
your project in a way that is visually interesting and accessible. It allows you to display your
work to a large group of other scholars and to talk to and receive feedback from interested
viewers. Integrating such a skill with technology, we decided to have a digital poster making
competition.

In this event, each participant was required to design a poster on the topic of "Best Technology
brings people together”, using the following software : InDesign / Illustrator / CorelDRAW /
Photoshop. The participants were judged on their : Creativity/ Placement of Contents/
Relevance to the Topic/ Visual Appearance, and the following were the results :

Position Name of School Name of Participant

1 The Sanskaar Valley School Aditya Narang

2 Mayo College Girls' School Jashvi Beriwal

3 Daly College Krish Kumar Verma

Computer quiz
Student Head: Raghav Agarwal
With technology becoming more prevalent in the workspace, it is important to have a solid
foundation of computer skills. Depending on work experience, job role and industry, the
computer skills required may vary. Knowing about the different types of computer skills can
help understand the skills required in this field.
In this event, the teams were tested on their knowledge of Technology. The following were
the results:

Position Name of School Name of Participant

1 Yadavindra Public School, Mohali Aryan Gupta, Arunav Kapur &
Harshpreet Singh

3 The Scindia School Pulak Bagaria, Shaurya Prakash &

Manan Jain

Computer programming
Student Head: Rishit Garg
There are various languages that enable people to communicate with one another, and this
process of give and take is the same between a computer and a programmer. Poetry in
language is considered a high art, but to me, a finely written piece of code holds all the creative
energy of great literary work. Even as each line of a poem conceals deep meaning, each line of
code has a larger place within the whole.

In this Competition each participant was given a set of five questions, and they were to be
judged on the following parameters: Time Taken / Logical algorithm / Code Length / User
Interaction / Correctness. The following were the results:

Position Name of School Name of Participant

1 Welham Boys’ School Amit Kumar

2 The Assam Valley School Kushagra Dhelia

3 Mayo College Vedant Arya Agarwal

Website designing
Student Head: Shivam Rastogi
We often find ourselves, glaring at the screen, being lost, deep into the sea of the “world wide
web”. Well in this fast-evolving world, where hundreds of unicorns are coming every month,
the art of making website has become the need of the hour.

In Website-making event, each participant was supposed to make an e-commerce website

which sold the people their idea of a tracking device. Participant could use: Wix / Web / Weebly
/ Adobe Dreamweaver / Mobirise / Java Script / HTML5 / HTML, and they were judged on the
following criteria: Topic Approach/ Relevance to topic / Placement of the content /
Presentation of information / Colour Theme. The following were the results:
Position Name of School Name of Participant

3 Yadavindra Public School, Patiala Krishiv Garg & Agaaz Aggarwal

Composite video making

Student Head: Saarth Kishore
Video editing has gone a long way in technology. It has come from just putting pieces of a film
together into adding sound effects, filters and captions or pictures into the film. The main
purpose for a video making competition is not just to test video editing skills, rather it is to
teach the students the importance of patience and the value of time.

In this event, the participants were given a set of 4 advertisements, and using their audio the
participants had to recreate the ads. The participants could use the following software:
DaVinci / Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / Sony Vegas / Pinnacle, and they were to be
judged on the following criteria: Comical / Relevance to topic / Editing Skills: Colour grading,
Transition / Time limit. The following were the results:

Position Name of School Name of Participant

The following were the overall results:

Position Name of School

1 Daly College, Indore

It was a matter of great pride for Welham Boys’ School to have conducted The IPSC event which
marked the acceptance of Technology in all walks of life.

INCREDIBLE INDIA QUIZ

The Joint Incredible India Quiz, an initiative by the Principals of Welham Boys’ School and
Welham Girls’ School was organized by the Department of Social Sciences for the students of
both schools. This friendly quiz was hosted by Welham Girls’ School wherein five teams of four
members each participated.
The quiz featured 8 rounds highlighting the Indian diversity, ranging between Indian epics and
mythology, Indian geography, sports, current affairs, business and industry, art and science.
The event witnessed an invigorating spirit of quizzing and each one of us was illuminated with
the wonders of the “Incredible India”.
Team 5, comprising of Shreya Singh, Shalini Kottapalli, Adi Narayan Gurung, and Arham Jain,
emerged victorious.
The quiz was followed by a social dinner for Grade XII from both the schools.

OLIPHANT MEMORIAL DEBATES: DATE? 2022

Welham Boys' School organised the 32nd edition of The Oliphant Memorial Debates on August
26 and 27, 2022. This prestigious annual debate is held in the memory of Ms Oliphant, the
school’s Founder.
 
Over the last thirty-two years, the debate has been conducted in several formats, and this
year's edition followed the British Parliamentary format. In this format, the judging criteria
hinged on (1) Matter, (2) Manner and (3) Method. Matter is the foremost aspect of any debate,
referring to the substance of the arguments and examples advanced by an individual on behalf
of their team. Secondly, manner encompasses accounting for elements in the delivery of a
speech, such as body language and more. Lastly, method refers to the structure and
organisation of a speech, and if given a lower but pertinent weightage.
 
The tournament saw the participation of 12 teams, share the dais and engage in meaningful
discussions on issues pertaining to socio-economic and political domains. After three intense
rounds of debating on subjects such as religious quotas and data privacy obligations, eight
teams qualified for the semi-finals. The topic for the semi-finals was The House believes that
China and India should contribute to the fight against climate change as much as the global
west. The teams that made it into the semi-finals were – Shiv Nadar School, Mayo College, St.
Joseph’s Academy, Welham Boys’ School, RIMC, Vasant Valley, Emerald Heights and Assam
Valley. All teams delivered wonderful performances, given the nuanced subject-matter, and the
best speaker in the Semi-final round was Shubhankar Dhulia from Welham Boys’ School.
After the highly competitive semi-finals, Shiv Nadar, Mayo College, Welham Boys’ and St
Joseph’s Academy qualified for the Finals. The topic for the Final Debate was, 'This House
believes in establishing paternal consent for abortion’. All the teams rose to the challenge in
front of them, and did justice to the elevated rigour at the final stage of the competition. In an
incredibly well-contested and close final, St Joseph’s Academy bagged the coveted trophy,
while Mayo Boys’ College was placed second.
The concluding debate was presided over by Mr Atul Sethi, one of the most acclaimed Indian
journalists. He is the recipient of the prestigious Charles Wallace Fellowship for research studies
in the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, UK and has also been felicitated
with the Jefferson Media Fellowship by the US government think-tank, East-West Centre.
